The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects believed to be members of a dangerous robbery network terrorising parts of Obuasi.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, February 19, police said the arrests were made on February 15, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation at Mangoase near Pokukrom, where Police raided several hideouts linked to the gang.
The suspects have been identified as Aziz Abubakar, also known as “Romeo,” Faraway Amari, and Patient Asare.
During the operation, police recovered a pump-action gun with ammunition, machetes, a bayonet, combat boots, one 9mm round, and GH¢20,000 in cash, believed to be proceeds from criminal activities.
The police added that Investigations have linked two of the suspects to the killing of three persons at Breme near Bechem in the Bono Region in March 2025, while efforts are ongoing to track down other accomplices and recover additional weapons.
